"he worked hard at his poetry …"
say Spenser and McClatchy,
literary executors
of the estate of James MerrillDavid Jackson has died.
not exactly news for
two months now,
but still a shock
to hear the great hand fell silent.
perhaps more a relief than a shame
given his situation. six years later and we still mourn
his death.
pictures
still look fresh. his influences unmitigated,
his reputation untarnished.
he is still a model in many ways
and is sorely missed. farewell JM, farewell DJ.
